First, the PS3 comes with only a Sony proprietary audio/video multi-out composite video cable. To output in high definition to TV, you'll have to pay extra for an A/V multi-out component video cable plus upward of $30 more for an HDMI cable. (By contrast, Samsung's BD-P1000 Blu-ray player ships with both component and HDMI cables in the bundle.) Also, if you want to truly enjoy using the game console as a Blu-ray Disc player and view movies in full home-entertainment mode (not just using the game controller), you must shell out $25 for Sony's BD remote. Note: Microsoft's Xbox 360 comes with a DVD remote and component cables.
